The Captive

Griffin Force, Book 1

By: Julie Coulter Bellon

Narrated by: Tristan Wright, GraceWright Productions

An American diplomat is kidnapped. A former Navy SEAL and the daughter of a notorious Algerian negotiator are sent in to rescue him. What could go wrong?

Former Navy SEAL Jake Williams is the newly appointed head of a task force assigned to rescue a kidnapped American diplomat. Their only hope is Mya Amari, the daughter of a notorious Algerian hostage negotiator, but she is full of secrets and complications - something Jake takes as a personal challenge. As they grow closer, the threat to the mission escalates and time runs out for the hostages. Can Jake unravel the web of deception to save them all without getting caught in the crossfire?

Mya Amari has been in hiding nearly her entire life to escape her father's enemies. But when her sister is kidnapped along with an American diplomat, she'll do anything to bring her home - including walking into the enemy's lair. She doesn't trust anyone, especially the too-handsome-for-his-own-good Commander Williams, but when all her careful plans explode out of control, he's the only one she can turn to with the truth about her family. Is it too little, too late?

Good start for a new series

This one's been in my TBR for quite awhile and I decided to listen to the audiobook while doing things around the house. I think this was a great kickoff to the Griffin Force series. There was a lot of action, some suspense and the beginning of a romance between the lead characters who gave off a strong dislike to lovers vibe at least at the beginning of the story.

I liked Jake right away but wasn't sure about Mya at first. She was kind of aloof and tried to get around some of the protocols that were in place to keep everyone safe and that's never a good thing. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I liked the narrator and thought he did a good job with the many male voices that were in the story. I've looked at the next book in the series and he also narrates that one which I think is a good thing.

A MUST to listen or read!!

I absolutely loved this book!! ONE AWESOME WHIRLWIND!!! Tristan Wright did a phenomal job narrating this book. This was a fantastic story involving SpecOps! Great mixture of character development, mystery, and action. Takes readers on an emotional and highly compelling journey. I can't wait to read the next installment of Griffin Force. Highly recommend listening (or reading if audiobooks aren’t your thing).

Exciting adventure and a whole lot breath holding!

I loved the action, characters and the amazing job Tristan Wright did narrating this story! Ms. Coulter Belton puts you right in the thick of things and with her talent with a pen you feel a part of chaos, struggles, firefights and snark!! Can't wait to read/listen to more of her books!
